Vern's right again - this one got abused by the fire and the regrowth - I fell hard once because I could not see my footing. I was also continually worried that I was off the path - fortunately spotting an old blaze from time to time, reassuring me for at least a few more paces...repeat, for 600 m. Surprised that other burn areas were flagged but this one was not (other than flagging at the north end landing). Just a few blazes. Hard work here!

A challenging portage made MUCH worse by the fires. Very hard to find and almost impossible to follow without a GPS track with blowdowns, new growth and grasses. Once you find the route it's still there but small detours may be required due to fallen trees. See photos below.

No trees down in August 2020 making this challenging portage more bearable.
